X1800 GTO Question

[Breaks]

Well, I've purchased one of these cards from else where and had real bad problems with it (as it was faulty)... so now I am looking to purchase one from Overclockers (as in the past I have had some very reliable hardware from here). I'm just wondering which manufacturer is best for this type of card.. as there is like Saphire, Power Color etc... I'm looking at the following card from here:

HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1800 GTO TURBO ICEQ3 SILENT 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-054-HT)

But I have no idea how reputable Excalibur is... are they any good? better than the others etc?

His are a good brand but get the x1800xt for £10 more as its loads better than the gto

Seconded, I just bought the X1800XT for my Allendale system, for £150 it's still a top card.

The Connect3D edition? Is that the one you got?

Yep, they're all pretty much the same, it's just the bundle that's different with each brand.
